      TravelerWritten February 2026

      For most of the day will we be following the tour guide or will we be walking around on our own? For day 3 will we walk around sun moon lake and be able to hike alishan?

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten February 2026

      For days with scheduled sightseeing, the tour guide will accompany you throughout the day, including transportation and visits to the main attractions.

      For Day 3, the guide will escort the group to Sun Moon Lake and Alishan and provide an introduction upon arrival. After that, guests will have free time to explore on their own.
      This part of the visit is self-guided, allowing you to enjoy the scenery at a comfortable pace. The guide will inform everyone in advance of the designated meeting point and time, where the group will regroup after the visit.

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      Will they take us direct to the airport from the tour?

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten February 2026

      Our tour will be end in Kaoshung city center. you can take a speed train from Kaoshung to Taipei, we can check the train ticket's price for you.

      And if your flight leave from Taipei at 6 pm and do not have enough time transfer from Kaoshung to Taipei by train, I would like to suggest you to stay 1 more night in Kaoshung and change your international flight home from Taipei the next day.

      All the mentioned additional night in Kaoshung, train from Kaoshung to Taipei, Taipei airport drop off service we can arrange by adding additional cost.

      Please let me know if you need me to check the service price for you?

    Jen

    Asked on January 27th, 2026

    Is it possible to add extra services to the tour like a pick up at the morning of the tour starts, a train ticket from Kaohsiung to Taipei on the last day or one more night in Kaohsiung and leave the next day with transfer to the hotel?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    Transport
    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten January 2026

      Yes, adding extra services is absolutely possible. Day 1 is a free day, and guests are expected to make their own way to the hotel we have booked. The official guided tour actually begins on the 16th. The additional services would be: one-way transfer on April 15 from the guest's own hotel in Taipei to the hotel we have booked, a train ticket from Kaohsiung to Taipei on April 19 or April 20, transfer on the last tour day from the hotel to Kaohsiung train station, and transfer in Taipei from Taipei train station to the guest's own hotel.

      Jen

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      At the last day will there be enough time to travel back to Taipei or is it better to stay overnight and travel the next day?

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten January 2026

      Day 5 is a half-day morning tour, expected to finish around 12:00–1:00 PM, after which we would normally proceed with purchasing the train tickets. If you prefer to stay one additional night in Kaohsiung and take the train the following morning, that is also possible.

    • J

      Jen

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      For him it is most important to have the new train to Taipei. Do you think the chance is bigger if he stays one more night? Can we buy the tickets beforehand or it's not clear at what time the new train is operating?

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten January 2026

      Noted that having the new train to Taipei is the most important point for him. We will certainly do our best to arrange the newer train. If he stays one additional night in Kaohsiung, it does give us more flexibility in train options, so the chances of securing the preferred train would indeed be higher. Regarding pre-booking train tickets, yes, advance booking is possible. However, the Taiwan railway system only releases tickets about 28–29 days prior to departure. Once tickets are available, our team will proceed with booking and will try our best to select the newer train, subject to availability at that time.

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      Is there a meeting or gathering on April 15th which Peter should be present?

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten February 2026

      April 15th is simply the hotel check-in day, and there are no scheduled activities or gatherings. Peter does not need to be present that day, and arriving on the morning of April 16th will be perfectly fine.
